Jazz Foundation client capabilities?

Hi,
I downloaded Jazz Foundation 1.0 M3 client and server thinking this may
be a free minimal version of Jazz.

I ran the Client for Eclipse IDE and see no Jazz perspectives or views
as I do when using the RTC client. Under the hood, I notice a fair
number of plugins which look like Jazz plugins.

What is the intent of the Client for Eclipse IDE? Is it a platform for
developing Jazz plugins?

Thanks, chris

Hi Chris,

to my knowledge the Jazz Foundation is only the platform - the core elements. I believe it does not provide any visible client capabilities.

Jazz is not a product in it self as far as I know.

The minimal free product based upon Jazz is Rational Team Concert Express C. (Free up to 3 users)

Please download and install that and have fun!

Thanks,

Ralph

Thanks for the info!
Actually I am already using the IBM release of RTC 1.0.1.1 and having fun :)
I was interested in beta 2 but have more than 3 users. Sounds like I
should wait for IBM release of RTC 2.0.

Hi Chris,

great to hear that. You don't have to wait for the Release if you are interested
to have a preview of the new capabilities. I guess the development team is
eager for feedback.
If you download any version you can install and use it on a machine for with
the temporary license of 60 days with more users provided the DB setup supports
more than the 10 users Express C supports.

We just don't recommend to do productive work on milestones as mentined in
the download page.
